    What a wonderful themed bar! The medieval theme isn’t overdone but it has some cute events around the bar. There’s even mead on the menu. We ordered a couple of rounds of flaming chorizos, some mead and some beer and they am went down great!

    Dec 2023: Works Do! Our third trip to Lisbon. Such a beautiful place, especially Christmas! Would have appreciated a better selection of craft ale/craft beer here and perhaps some mead or honey based beers! Good atmosphere though! Nov 2018: Works Do! Sep 2016: Our first time!

    This is not a restaurant. This is a dinning experience, and it is undoubtedly a great one. You walk into this incredibly well decorated medieval tavern where every visual element ranging from the lighting to the ornaments transport you back in time to experience distant flavors of dishes of a time long gone. The service is amazing. They commit to the experience by dressing accordingly in medieval attires, even during hot summers. They are also very polite, fast, and efficient. They know their menu well and are ready to make recommendations in case you’d like to know more about dishes or what drinks to pair them with. The food was delicious and honestly, quite unique. I had never tasted rabbit prepared like that, or pickled deer. The bread was a bit on the hard side, but everything else was delicious. Most people come here for their famous fire sausage, which is also quite a treat. Served on fire at your table, it can also be requested previously cooked if you wish to avoid possible fire hazards. A bit on the salty side, but you can pair it nicely with their mead to balance out the flavors. The ladies will welcome you with a tapas cart, which is a nice start before you move on to a bigger meal. The rabbit or the deer are great if you’re feeling adventurous, otherwise the charcuterie board or honey cheese are safe bets. Some themed restaurants overlook the importance of music and audio in terms of what it brings to the table, but not here. It could only be better if they had an actual bard playing live, but the medieval tracks they provide go nicely with the experience and are not too loud or invasive to disrupt or limit conversation. Although quite medieval in style going with the theme, visually, their bathrooms were very modern and clean. The locale is housed in an older building, so handicap access might be difficult but not impossible. Children might appreciate the experience as well, and there are chicken dishes available for them to enjoy but I would consider this more of a treat for adults than for younger clients who might not appreciate the theme or flavors as much. Vegetarian options can be arranged but the menu itself doesn’t necessarily cater to them. If you have dietary restrictions let them know so they can accommodate or inform you what to avoid in case of allergies. Parking might be a bit tricky in the area but there are some paid and unpaid options around, but easier to get here by foot or public transport.

    The vibe is like a very rustic Viking kinda vibe. The food is delicious! Get the flaming sausage! They light it on fire and you decide when your sausage is cooked to your liking. The food is “heavy” but I loved it! We had that for dinner and then went to our hotel for a nightcap and bed. We needed to go up a hill to get to our hotel so you can work off some of the food hahahaha! I would recommend if you like meat meat meat. 5 stars for the ambiance and taste and experience of having the flaming sausage!

    Quick visit at lunch, the portion of partridge stew was very big and juicy. Service is a bit cold but probably due to no service charge and no other customers.

    I love this place, a fun Lisbon medieval restaurant. The flaming sausage is a must! Then, the lamb chops with the most delicious greens, and also loved the duck confit with rice and vegetables.

    Fantastic venue. There were no tables when we arrived so we sat at the bar. We were served by Patrizia who was very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us advice on what to get. Good selection of food and drink including mead. We wanted to try the sausage which is set on fire at the table but we couldn't at the bar. However the venue found a small table for us to try it.

    Dinner. Solo traveler. Such a great find. Food was great. Mead was nice and chilled as was the beer. Staff were great and helpful. A good experience. Probably best to book if you can. Can get busy. They don’t have a website.

    We found this rare tabern by coincidence looking for somewhere to eat on a hot day. The room temperature was great and the waitresses were very welcoming and dressed in medieval clothes. The decor was also to the style including the glasses. They had mead (medieval drink) and most of the food was served similar to how it used to be.

    If you wanna have a medieval experience in Lisbon, this is the place to go. The bar is near downtown, just a few blocks from Praça do Comércio. It's a bit low key but you can easily find it by using Google Maps. When you arrive, you'll see some stairs and a very unique entrance. At the door you can already see that this place is different from the others. Inside lights are lower and traditional music plays in the background, although you can barely hear them because of people's conversations. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to eat something but at least had the opportunity to try their Hidromel, which was very tasty. If you go there, you must have it! The woman who serviced us was extremely nice too and even offered us to taste another type of hidromel without charging it.

    Lovely atmosphere, had lamb chestnut potatoes mash along with the flamming sausage I would recommend talking to the waitress and getting to know the menu, drinks and trying other items in the menu as well

    Medieval restaurant in the heart of Lisboa. We enjoyed drinking mead and craft beer from clay glasses - unique. We were able to roast our own sausage on our table

    This medieval themed restaurant isn't just a fun experience, they also have great food. All the staff dress of the period and you can get liter beers in a ceramic mug. We got several starter dishes from their rolling cart, mushrooms pastries, pickled deer, assorted cheese. All of them were delicious, especially the deer, would order again. I highly recommend stopping by for a fun time and some good eats.

    Great themed pub, loved the mediaeval ambience. Just right and not over done. The staff is great, they provided some awesome recommendations. I really liked their flaming chorizo and roasted octopus. A round of mead complimented the experience. Worth stopping by if you are ever in Lisbon.

    The staff is very helpful about everything. Their menu was wider than my expectations and you can find a lot of different traditional food here. It’s really a good place to spend a few hours during the day.

    Great food in a special atmosphere: mediaeval theme. We had the duck and the cold rabbit dish, they were really tasty! The staff gave nice wine recommendations. I have food allergies and they were very thoughtful about it. Would recommend for food, but also they have lots of drinks, cocktails and shots for a night out

    Does exactly as it says it shall, flaming Chorizo and beer with delicious nibbles to go along with the sausage. As a group of 4 we had 2x meats and cheese board with the olives and bread and found this was plenty along with 3 sausages.. This was for our dinner but you could definitely do less for lunch or a snack with beer and wine. We didn't try the mead but I'm sure it would have been nice too. Would return, the staff were very pleasant and answered our questions 😊👍

    When you enter the restaurant, it feels like you are going back in Medieval time. The waitress also dresses like old time. Good place to take a break from all the walking. Highly recommended the fire sausage!!!!

  • 4/5 Mehmet A. 7 months ago on Google • 105 reviews
    We came here for the atmosphere more than the food and were not disappointed. Costumes and decorations were inspired from medieval times. We recommend stopping by after a long stroll for some cold drinks because the food was average.

  • 5/5 Diana N. 1 month ago on Google • 52 reviews New
    Mouth watering meats, incredibly tasty and soft. Staff are very nice and helpful. Would recommend to everyone.

  • 5/5 Ramon R. 2 months ago on Google • 52 reviews New
    I was totally left in awe after dining in this place. It offers great well-cooked food, attentive service, hearthy atmosphere, and a unique theme. Both the octopus and the duck were prepared so well, and I know that a good octopus dish is difficult to come by. The duck blew my mind- it was a slice of heaven on a plate. There was live music which added to the distict ambience of the taberna. Please do not miss to try this place out, and I will definitely comeback here the next time I visit Lisbon.

    Trobadores Is a very nice place with a relaxing atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of snacks, main courses and side dishes (Ibérica toast with olive paste in picture). I would also highly recommend ordering hydromel as beverages and the Alentejo sausages (image). Great place for a date or meeting with friends. Definitely recommended.

    I love this bar. I love everything about it. I love that you can have your food set on fire at your table. I love the terracotta mugs your beer comes in. I love the chairs. This place is incredible.

  • 5/5 Isaac W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place, have been thinking about checking it out for a while. Great honey taste with the mead and great beers! Of course cooking that blood sausage over the alcohol grill was exciting, also ordered me some cheese slightly grilled and honeyed to mix and with that and the bread, phenomenal food and service. Wish I could give more than 5 Stars! Thank you again!

  • 5/5 Scott D. 2 years ago on Google
    Came from Scotland and found this on local restaurants. I'd eat here forever if I could. Staff are great, atmosphere is brilliant in a 10ish table bar and the food is the best I've had in Lisbon. Highly recommend!

    Very nice place. Nice waiter and good food. Good value for money. Definitely would visit again!

  • 5/5 Manuel V. 4 years ago on Google
    Great service and great food. We ordered their famous tabled flamed chorizo which is an amazing gimmick and also tasted very good. Also had some tapas which were also outstanding, they have many beers on tap and the ambiance with the medieval theme is great, definetly recommend and hope to be back in the near future.

  • 2/5 Dildo V. 1 year ago on Google
    Place has really nice design, a lot of candles, but is pretty dark. I have seen older customers with not so good eyesight using light from phone to read menu, that shouldn't have place. We have ordered white wine, it was good, and chorizo from little grill operated by customer, we followed instructions from waitress, which is to wait until the fire is stop and sausage came out extremely overcooked and burnt, they should adjust their instructions. As well, i seen that another party on another table received much larger sausage, that wasn't fair too. Overall, nice design, food not so.

    Cosy tavern with medieval themed drinks as well as non alcoholic options. A nice rest spot between sights

  • 3/5 Mireille H. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried mead : it was good and strong. Also tried their flaming chorizo. It was okay, I guess I had higher expectations.

  • 5/5 Mateusz D. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite places in Lisbon. The interior and music takes you back into middle ages. Delicious food (hard to recommend particular dishes, since all are great) and drinks (I can highly recommend mead). The experience of drinking from horn is unique, like taken from a movie or a book.
